NRA Says Internal Review Found No Russian Funding

In internal review found no evidence Russian nationals contributed to the gun rights group’s 2016 election activities, the National Rifle Association said.

An NRA lawyer offered the assessment in a letter sent March 19 to Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, according to The Washington Times.

In February, Wyden pressed the NRA to provide details of any transactions with Russian nationals, government officials or shell companies associated with Russia. The Democrat was particularly interested in any transactions with Alexander Torshin, the deputy chief of Russia’s central bank and NRA lifetime member.
